Why the gross needed for take-home varies by province in Canada
Ontario has progressive provincial income tax (top rate 13.16%). To achieve the same take-home as in a lower-tax province (e.g. Alberta or Nunavut), you need a higher gross in Ontario. Federal tax and CPP/EI apply everywhere; provincial rates differ, so the salary needed for a target take-home is higher in higher-tax provinces. Use the calculator above for your desired annual take-home (CAD), filing status, and number of children.
Federal tax, Ontario provincial tax, CPP, and EI in net-to-gross
A net to gross calculator Canada works backward from your desired take-home: it finds the gross (CAD) such that after federal tax, Ontario provincial tax, CPP (Canada Pension Plan), and EI (Employment Insurance) you land on your target net. This page uses current Ontario provincial brackets. For CPP and EI amounts only, use our CPP & EI Calculator Canada. For RRSP tax savings in Ontario, use our RRSP Calculator Canada Ontario. For gross-to-net (forward), use our Canada Tax Calculator and select Ontario.
